Students gain empathy as they begin our scale model all-terrain wheelchair prototype project. Had time to try & navigate our school in a wheelchair. Lots of lessons learned.

Some of the scale model all-terrain wheelchair prototypes from 7th grade. They researched, designed, built, & tested their designs.

Used AI chatbots from SchoolAI as the stakeholders so they could interview as part of the #DesignThinking process.
